I'd say many people in China are just really ignorant about other races, but not necessarily hateful. I doubt you'd be the victim of any violent hate crime for example there.

Singapore if it counts as East Asia. I've been there couple times and I'm familiar with the place.

Reality is, Singapore is probably BY FAR the easiest city to live in for White Westerners in Asia. They speak English (even if its the annoying Singlish variety), it is very First World, and cosmopolitan/multi-racial (even if majority Chinese descent).

YES- Tokyo specifically, or Sapporo. I've had a long fascination with Japan and its culture.

I had as many Chinese/South Korean friends in highschool as I did white friends. You'd be surprised about the negative comments I've heard about black people from them(which was before I was even racist and I didn't like what they were saying). Also, his country(Austria) doesn't really have a lot of east Asians. Can't say I see too many old Chinese grannies sitting beside black people on public transport either, but obviously that doesn't mean much. I've noticed a few stares too, but again this isn't proof of anything lol.

Also Zhaoyun, if you're a book guy I'll recommend you this book: Chinese Girl in The Ghetto by Ying Ma, it's about her moving from China to Oakland, CA in the US. Good read.

I've already read that book and it's not surprising, Asian immigrants don't usually fare well in the ghetto. Also, yes, most Asians from Asia are pretty open with their racism. My parents are.

Well, I believe in homogenous countries for people that want them, especially in Europe(as well as multi-racial countries like the US for the people that want them), I believe in racial differences because of the overwhelming proof and I'm more comfortable around people who look like me. If that makes me a racist, I guess I am.

Well, even if they were racist to Blacks, they wouldn't be openly hostile.
